Question

I am stuck with Ant 1.7.1 for the moment for reasons I wont get into. I'd like to be able to use the SshSession Ant task to create SSH tunnels to some of my servers. But SshSession was introduced only in Ant 1.8.0.

I have no experience with custom Ant tasks. Would it be difficult to backport this task from 1.8.0 to 1.7.1 ? Where should I go to learn more on how to do that ?

Thanks for your help !

Was it helpful?

Solution

It looks like the source for the SShSession task is compatible with ant 1.7. Get the source for this task, and compile against ant 1.7 and the jsch jar. Then create a taskdef pointing to the class you've just created (jsch.jar will need to be in the ant lib dir or specified using the -lib option) and you should be good to go.
